Question

What is the correct time to separate challah?

Answer

Shalom Rav,

It is a mitzvah to ideally separate challah from the dough before baking, but if one forgot to separate from the dough, it should be done after baking.

From liquid dough, such as for a sponge cake, it should ideally be separated after baking.
